A POS System With Lighting Controls

Getting a POS system for your billiard, karaoke or recreation centres? While regular POS systems may suffice for your operation needs, a POS system with industry-specific features will help make managing your recreation centre much easier.

In this article, we will take a look one of these features: POS system with integrated lighting controls.

How does it work?

To illustrate an example of how a POS system with integrated lighting controls would work, we shall study the use case of a billiard & pool centre.

Standard billiard centre operation flow

The standard operation flow of a billiard centre would often be: a customer heads to the counter, and gets assigned to a table. From there, the billiard centre will switch on the assigned table’s lights.

Once the customer’s timeslot has come to an end, or when the customer decides to end their session, the lights at the respective tables are switched off and customers will have to head to the counter to make payment.

With POS system and lighting integration

By integrating your POS system and lighting controls, the lights will be automatically switched on once a billiard table has been assigned on the POS system, and will be automatically switched off when the sessions have been ended.

This integration will be of great help to your staff in managing billiard table lighting control and the assigning of tables. 

During peak periods, it may be difficult for staff to allocate available tables visually. With a POS system, your staff are able to allocate available tables through the table management screen on the POS system. Once the tables are allocated, lighting for the respective tables will be automatically switched on.

When customers end their session, the tables lighting is automatically switched off when the bill is closed.

This helps your staff quickly and easily allocate available tables to customers during peak hours without having to worry about switching on the correct table’s lights.

This will help reduce the time taken to serve each customer, to help move your queues faster during peak hours.

Where else can a POS system with lighting integration be used?

A POS system with lighting controls can be applied to any business that requires lights to be switched on when customers are allocated a room or a table.

Some examples of such businesses would be karaokes and massage/SPA centres, or even some restaurants with a similar concept.
